Sixteen Madison area pastors say former University of Wisconsin-Madison Vice Chancellor Paul Barrows was treated unfairly by the university’s provost.
The pastors, all members of the Madison Wisconsin African-American Council of Churches Inc., signed a petition to Regent President David Walsh, asking the regents to review Barrows’ case. The pastors note that on June 12, Provost Patrick Farrell substituted a letter of reprimand for a “letter of counsel” regarding Barrows’ alleged actions toward a woman five or six years ago.
